Services
Rising Damp Treatment
Rising damp is a highly common issue in older buildings, caused by moisture moving through stone via capillary action. We effectively treat this problem to prevent secondary complications such as dry rot, wet rot, and salt contamination to plaster. Our targeted treatments protect the structural integrity and aesthetics of your property.
Timber Decay Treatment
Timber decay within buildings requires targeted intervention to prevent structural weakening. We identify and eliminate the water and food sources that rot requires to sustain its growth. Our specialised treatments ensure the long-term preservation of your property's wooden structures.
Woodworm Treatment
The Common Furniture Beetle operates on a three-year cycle that causes significant damage to structural timbers. We effectively eradicate woodworm infestations by interrupting this destructive lifecycle at its source. Our expert approach protects your property from further timber degradation.
Condensation Control
Condensation can severely impact the quality of your property and encourage the growth of harmful moulds and mites. We provide effective control solutions to improve ventilation and manage moisture levels within your premises. Our methods safeguard the health of occupants while protecting the building.
